The phenomenon of planking involves the practice of imitating a wooden plank in various places, both public and private. This has lead to owling which encourages squatting on top of various objects whilst staring owl-like into the distance. The newest craze, spawn from its predecessors is toothpicking, which involves standing on your head. The most important aspect to remember is the more bizarre the place the better the planking, owling or toothpicking.
